Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

top there are all the same fame, The Odd Cycles TGAC

Awesome!

What's happening here? Is there two fork ends??

Yes there are. Like a very simple Version of the Rondo Adjuster-Dropouts. Or those on the enve gravel fork (or something similiarly pricey).

Good eyes! I can also see the brake calipers have a lots of spacer to have it on the high trail drop out.

Hey can someone help me out, I'm searching for a bike I think was posted here a long time ago. It's a blue randonneur type with flat bars and I think dura ace di2 from the first generation, the one with the silver bits. Thank you in advance!! :-)

My off road commuter

I had to pick up something bulky, but light the other day so changed the pizza bag out for something a little more voluminous.

Nice!
How have you mounted your Strada? Looking for ideas for mine.

Very good

I made a mount

Outstanding! Puts my length of steerer, a couple of star nuts, top caps and a few bolts idea to shame.

This is fantastic! So many neat touches

Still one of my favourite bikes ever.

What do you mean I just built this thing up :D

Hmm, the frame bag deceived me then with the Elder patch... Well then, not still, but one of my favourite bikes ever!

Fooled me too. You did transplant a lot of parts over, right?

I thought I did but my bank account says otherwise... Some small bits are old like rear der, chain, pedals, stem and saddle. Rack is modified and yeah the framebag that fits somewhat. Rest is pretty much new or partsbin.
Guess I have a strong theme for my bikes ;)

Edit. Mezcals are from the Stavanger too but looking to replace them. Still not impressed by them.

Thanks!

Oh, that's a modified Pelago Commuter rack? Nifty. Bike looks great overall!

The rack is actually more bent and hammered back into shape than modified but yes it's a Pelago Commuter platform. The support struts are just quick straight ones I made.
A new fully custom rack is on the to-do list when I have some spare time.

What don't you like about the mezcals? I also have them and I quite like them. Pretty slow on tarmac but that's to be expected for an xc tyre

The only tyres I have to compare the Mezcals to in similar size are Nobby Nics (can't remember what compound) and Rangers (Tough Fast Rolling). The NN's are too mtb for what I'm looking for but the Rangers rolled much better on tarmac and hardpack. Also felt more supple but still stout enough to not deform like crazy on trails. The Mezcals just feel too rigid and slow on everything dry/hard. They also slip all over the place when wet and have lacking traction on trails. But these are just my observations and I know Mezcals are a very popular choice for similar builds and riding.
Might try some Taipan Kolosses or just plain old Cross Kings. Wish they made Spotted Cats or Black Mambas in 27.5x2.6-2.8". A big but fast lightweight XC tyre.
